Yes, it\u2019s that time of year again: Spotify 2020 Wrapped. Been living under a rock? Let me help out. Spotify Wrapped is a feature where the company gives you a personalized breakdown of your listening habits over the year.<\/p>\n

Is it absolutely ridiculous that it rolls this feature out at the beginning of December? When there\u2019s technically still a full month of the year to go? A full 44,640 minutes of potential listening time (if you don\u2019t sleep)?<\/p>\n

Of course not. How dare<\/em> you. Bow down to Spotify 2020 Wrapped, peasant. Despite this cognitive dissonance, I still kinda like the feature. You can go here to test it out<\/a>, see what the world is listening to here<\/a>, or just open the Spotify app on your phone.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new with Spotify 2020 Wrapped?<\/h2>\n

There are a few additions to the feature this year. First off, there\u2019s an in-app quiz. In mine it asked me to pick the artist I thought I listened to most.<\/p>\n

You can also track your history with your most listened to song, something I found deeply uninspiring, but here we are. Supposedly, there\u2019s also a feature that gives you a breakdown of podcasts you listening to on Spotify, but I use a different app for that, so it didn\u2019t appear on mine.<\/p>\n

The company also introduced badges with Spotify 2020 Wrapped. Can\u2019t say being given arbitrary awards really does too much for me, but you may enjoy it, so no judgement over here.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of other new additions, but they\u2019re pretty low-key. If you\u2019re really interested, you can find out more here<\/a> \u2014 but I don\u2019t know why you\u2019d do that to yourself.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on Spotify 2020 Wrapped?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s fine, I guess. It\u2019s colorful and well-designed, but I have a personal issue with it that I tend to use Spotify for music while I\u2019m working, and do most of my active listening with my MP3 library. This means that my Spotify 2020 Wrapped is basically meaningless.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I still track most of my listening using Last.fm<\/a> and, at the actual end of the year<\/em>, it gives me a far more interesting breakdown of my music habits. No, it doesn\u2019t have any fancy graphic design, or a Stories-esque interface, but it has data. And that\u2019s all I really want. Check out my 2019:<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a>GOD IT\u2019S SO BEAUTIFUL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What I\u2019m saying is Spotify 2020 Wrapped is cool, but you should go and make a Last.fm account and start using that too. Of course, there\u2019s a strong possibility you use Spotify as your main music driver, in which instance I guess it\u2019s fine? I dunno, the social-ready design and sharing features just make me feel Spotify 2020 Wrapped is for people with awful music taste who post stuff like \u201cTYPICAL ME,\u201d or \u201cNO SHOCK HERE,\u201d or \u201cWOULD YOU BELIEVE?\u201d alongside the image of their listening habits.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s me done \u2014 head on over here<\/a> if you want to find out what Spotify thinks about you. Or go here if you\u2019d like to see what the world is listening to<\/a>. But what\u2019s the point when it\u2019s still 2020?<\/p>\n
